"Windsor intends to use the Chapter 11 process to reorganize its financial and operational affairs with the goal of preserving and enhancing the assets of the company for the benefits of the creditors and shareholders," says Windsor chairman Jerry Dauderman. "We fully expect the casino to operate as usual, our valued employees to be retained, and for our post-bankruptcy obligations to be satisfied."
